So...

I will not rant very much about this beautiful place... photos are mostly self-explanatory...

We arrived Friday morning and met up at the airport with my friends... we took the train to the Rathaus station to go to the hotel to leave our luggage... our room - being the largest room in the hotel - wasn't ready... so we left our luggage in the lobby and went to take a look at the area we where staying...

We stayed at a four star hotel in the heart of Vienna, close to the Rathaus - a building which serves both as a mayor and city council of the city of Vienna...

The Rathaus... built between the years 1872 – 1883, in Gothic style...

The Rathaus... photos taken from Rathausplatz...

Almost all signs in Vienna look like this... ^^

The Rathausmann... its the top of the building seen from the park...

The Austrian Parliament... built between the years 1874 - 1883, by T.E. Hansen in a Greek revival style... I tried to take peripheral photos of the whole building... The structure of the building is almost identical to the Zappeion in Athens...

The main and side buildings are identical to the structure of the temple of Athena Nike in Athens (Acropolis)...

In the last photo you can see the female figures that are identical to the ones of the Erechtheion in Athens (Acropolis)... although the original figures on the Greek building are six and are called Caryatides... here you can see a set of eight and there are another eight on the other side of the building!!! ^^

By the way... only five of the Caryatides are in Greece... the sixth you can see it in the British museum of course, where else... *tsk*

Going around the parliament towards the hotel we stopped at a small restaurant to eat!!! ^^

Gnocchi quattro formaggi... *delicious*

After that we went back to the hotel... my jaw dropped when I saw the room... they gave us a junior suite!!!! Teehee...

I don’t have the photos now but will upload them later!!! ^^;

We got ready hurriedly and went to the venue where the D concert was going to be held...

The following photos are taken from the way to the club...

Palais Auersperg... is a baroque palace built between the years 1706 - 1710 over the former Rottenhof... currently it is used to host balls and musical events... I want to go to a Viennese ball some day... hmmm... maybe next Christmas!!! XDDDDD

The Venue of the concert...

All I can say from that incredible night is that D were AWESOME!!!!

~~Business is off limits to the public...~~ XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
